after 36 hours of ME:A here are some thoughts;

  • seeker Cassandra can be found pursuing justice in a pirate port. though she’s lost her accent, there’s no denying that’s her voice
  • is it really necessary for the Tempest to zoom in on a planet/object really close before just zooming back out like four inches
  • thank g o d for decent asian faces in the character engine
  • why are people into reyes his accent is so fake and his face needs a good exfoliator
  • man i wish i had a scanner like that in real life
  • where are the drell
  • i see mass effect’s newest addition to the franchise continues the trend of providing horrifically inadequate living conditions for hamsters
  • can i romance SAM
  • look i appreciate all the cool alien culture tidbits but i want to see a) more naked aliens and b) more baby aliens
  • how old is jaal exactly, his main inner conflict is that he doesn’t know what to do with his life and one romance scene is very ‘first time visiting your dorm room’ it’s like he’s fresh out of State or smth
  • fuck kadara and its omega dupe of a port and confusing three-way power struggle and lying questgivers and that one remnant monolith that took me forever to find the cave opening for and those doors that take forever to open because everyone in kadara is a shit
  • yes you will need a guide for unlocking those damn remnant glyph sudoku puzzles
  • why does ryder lack the ability to go down stairs without stumbling at least twice

kiibster:

I think the thing I find most entertaining about Jaal is the fact that, whenever he does anything romantic with Ryder after introducing her to his family, he IMMEDIATELY tells Sahuna (because you get email correspondences from her after Jaal’s confession, and when you consumate your relationship with him) …

I can just picture him in the tech lab on the ship, frantically emailing his True Mother, “MOM, RYDER LET ME KISS HER. I AM ENCHANTED, I LOVE HER.”

He’s just. 2 cute. 2 precious. Such a sweet Mama’s boy. I love him. 💖💖💖
